Change is as good as a Holiday.

Well maybe not....but it's a start:-). 

 

 

 A couple here on the blog....and a small change in my dining room.

You can see how it looked before here. 

 

 



Before l painted these backboards, the dresser seemed to lack oomph and felt a little formal... and though l knew it wasn't quite "right" l hadn't thought much about it.... until it hit me early one morning as l was cleaning up. It only took an hour or so to find the torquoise paint, pull everything off.... and paint it. l'm happy with it now, although this blue is not a quiet colour, it seems to relax and "ease" the dresser into the dining room, and also ties in with the blues in the adjoining kitchen/family room. 

 

 

These embroidered table napkins were cut from a vintage skirt, there wasn't quite enough fabric for six...so five will just have to do:-))

 

 

A closeup of the embroidery. I've not sewn the ruffled edges for a relaxed, casual finish.

  

 

 

 

 

Couldn't resist a bunch of purple, papery statice flowers from the market....looking all washed out and beachy here.

 

This tablecloth was originally pale yellow....it matches a whole lot better after it's torquoise (dye) bath.

 

 

Lovely, romantic and pretty....here.  

 

Stunning blue vignette.... Selina Lake. via pinterest. 

 

 

l hope you enjoyed the post today...though l haven't spent too much time writing:-))

 

 

Have a fabulous rest of your week...thanks so much for stopping by.

 

 

 

Til next time,
